Re: Clear Lake Water Level | USGS | Rumsey Gauge
All ramps but Lucerne are still open .Some are sketchy. If we dont get rain a lot of ramps will be unusable by summer .I believe 5th street is the deepest .Weather man keeps calling for a 2-5 inch of rain and we get a 1/4 inch. Most of the small creeks dont even have any water in them .

Re: Clear Lake Water Level | USGS | Rumsey Gauge
Be careful out there. If you only come up in March just remember that the water that is normally 6-7 foot is now 1-2 foot. The flat by Rodman and also out in front of State park will have people running aground.

Re: COVID Shutdown Notice | 2021 FLW MLF Shasta
Guys it’s not about the tournaments or even the fishing. No one wants to follow stay at home orders. Unintentionally spreading the virus as they drive all over the state. The ramps at Clearlake are full on weekends. Most driving in from out of the area. Surprised they haven’t closed down more lakes....
